The Committee considered the written report, in addition to supplementary information, and the recommendation from the Head of Planning Services to grant permission.

The Committee was addressed by the following deputees:

1)    Ms S Kennedy and Mr M Smith who objected to the proposal for the following reasons

a.    The use of the rear yard for a beer garden was unsympathetic to the immediate neighbouring properties due to the high levels of noise and noise pollution which would continue until midnight.

b.    As this was part retrospective application, the lack of consultation with neighbours had meant that there had been a lack of communication prior to construction. Consultation could have led to a more sympathetic construction.

c.    Neighbouring residents were unable to have a reasonable enjoyment of their properties due to the necessity to keep windows shut at all times because of noise and smoke.

d.    The premature construction had caused a significant detrimental impact on the neighbouring property due to an increase in black mould.

e.    The lack of soundproofing in the existing construction was unacceptable and needed to be rectified.

f.     The principle of the conservatory aspect of the proposal was not being objected to, it was the increase in noise and lack of consideration for the neighbouring properties.

g.    There was concern that the construction had created a fire safety risk.

In response to questions raised by the committee, the deputee advised that:

                                          i.    The objections were not to the principle of the conservatory, objections were over the lack of noise insulation.

                                        ii.    Previously, doors had existed on the outside of the conservatory and they would like to see these reinstalled.

                                       iii.    They were not objecting to the level of smoke; noise was the main issue of concern.

2)    Mr I Murray who supported the application for the following reasons:

h.    The site and business had significant community value within the local area. The proposal sought to increase its use and engagement with the community.

i.      the proposal would regularise the property.

j.      The inclusion of noise mitigating features, such as insulation, was sympathetic to the needs of the neighbouring residents and would decrease levels of disruption due to noise.

k.     There had been no objections from the police and there had been no public order offences served.

l.      No noise nuisance tests had been undertaken and therefore the level of disruption created by noise was subjective.

m.   The proposal to construct gated fences to the rear of the site sought to increase safety for residents.

n.    The proposal would increase the public use of the site and therefore contribute to the local economy and community.

3)    Cllr M Wilson who supported the application for the following reasons:

See appendix A attached to these minutes.

In response to questions raised by the committee, Officers advised that:

·         The proposal outlined that the smoking shelter would no longer be attached to the adjacent building if approved.

·         The applicant had advised that the exterior doors on to the conservatory would  ...  view the full minutes text for item 47.
